Minute Meditations

I spend my last night of my pilgrimage to Italy on the balcony of my hotel room drinking wine and looking up at a heavy sky.

This one small moment shows how seeming insecurity, and daring to name it, can also be a pathway toward truth and learning about oneself.

All of these things are there for us to discover within ourselves. I’ll close with this line from another great memoirist, Elizabeth Gilbert: “I happen to believe we are all walking repositories of buried treasure.”

Keep bringing the fullness of your heart into every situation. Keep being relentlessly kind. The rest will take care of itself.

Too often, the fast-paced haze of life has us whirling at a speed where we feel like we’re moving so quickly from one thing to the next.

The rosary is an invitation for the Spirit to introduce new awareness of God’s presence.
